England v. West Indies 1st test May 6th-10th
Wow! Everyone has been looking forward to this exciting two-test series. After the thrills and spills of the four (or was it five?) tests between the two teams in the West Indies, these two tests are sure to capture the imagination.
Both teams have been preparing well: Collingwood hasn't played any cricket at all, but I am sure he has been carrying the drinks in a professional way; Flintoff is injured, but he would like to have played; Pietersen and Bopara have also been in South Africa preparing for tests in England by playing 20-20 cricket; and Gayle? Gayle's plane has landed!
So, all the key players have had this exciting series as their number one priority.
And, Geoff Miller, the "chief selecter" for England, has made it clear how important he thinks the tests against the West Indies are when he said that it is good that Flintoff is injured now rather than him missing the 20-20 World Cup.
Also, not to forget that West Indies are third choice for this series, since Zimbabwe are banned from the UK and Sri Lanka pulled out due to IPL commitments.
And, where's Bravo???? No-one knows.
